Stellantis has slashed nearly 10,000 jobs in Italy over the past four years, while vehicle production, including vans and small trucks, has more than halved since 2004, according to the Fiom-Cgil union.
Stellantis includes Italian brands Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo, which have significantly scaled back their operations in recent years while the company has dealt with broader challenges, including electrification and competition from China.
The automaker’s workforce in Italy fell to 27,632 at the end of 2024, from 37,288 at the end of 2020, and vehicle production dropped from around 1 million to less than 480,000 units over 2004-2024, the union said in a report called “Stellantis: the great escape.”
In the context of weaker demand for new cars in general, Stellantis steadily lost market share in both Italy and Europe, dropping below 30 percent in Italy last year, down from more than 35 percent two years prior, according to the union.
Stellantis was not immediately reachable for comment.
The automaker has pledged to revive production in Italy with the hybrid version of the Fiat 500 city car, which is set to hit the market later this year, rolling off the historic Mirafiori plant in Turin, Fiat’s hometown.
